Title: Saying Grace, mid-late 18th century Creator: Workshop of Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (French, 1699-1779) This exquisite oil on canvas painting, created by the Workshop of Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin, captures a heartwarming moment of grace before dinner in an 18th century French household. The scene is set indoors, in a cozy dining room, where a mother and her children are gathered around a wooden dining table. The table is adorned with colorful crockery, a chafing dish, and a drum-shaped heating device, suggesting a well-prepared and nourishing meal. The mother, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown and apron, bows her head in prayer, while her children, dressed in fashionable clothing of the time, don bonnets and aprons, and join her in the act of saying grace. The girls, with their long curls and innocent expressions, add a touch of charm to the scene. The painting beautifully captures the essence of domestic life in the 18th century, showcasing the warmth, love, and tradition that permeated family gatherings. The use of muted colors and the attention to detail in the clothing, accessories, and furniture, further enhance the authenticity of the scene. This genre painting, with its musical instruments in the background, also hints at the importance of music and arts in the daily life of the French bourgeoisie. The painting is now a part of the Nationalmuseum collection in Sweden, and serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 18th century.
